The Youngsters is a product of the encounter of two personalities : Olivier M, 25, and Gil le Gamin, 34.
Gilles Escoffier, also known as Gil le Gamin, is a DJ since 1988. In 1993 he becomes involved in national events ( MCM Night, Dragon Ball, D.Mention...). In 1995 he opens his own record shop, Z’Appies Records in Montpellier, and start to produce his own music alongside Ultracolor, another rising artist who later establishes Scandium Records. Whilst performing abroard for the first time ( Spain, Switzerland, Canada...), Gil forms an event-organizing entreprise in 1997 – Happy People at Work – and coordinates about twenty major envents in the south of France in the space of two years... In 1998 he establishes his own label G-Funk, and after his encounter with Olivier M the adventure of The Youngsters begins under that same label.
Olivier Mateu, also known as Olivier M was introduced to music at the age of 6, when he started classical piano lessons. By the end of the 80’s he becomes familiar with the electronic sounds of Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Cure, Tangerine Dream and Jean Michel Jarre...and it’s revelation : these sounds and the way they are created mix music and science – his two equally deep passions – perfectly. Olivier starts trying out his first synthesizer on his own in the begginning of 1990 and, at the same time, discovers LFO, Inner City, Laurent Garnier and other pioneers of “electronic groove”...he then takes a close interest in alternative and experimental music through the work of Pierre Henry or Staukhausen, and there he discovers ways and mathods of manipulating raw and revolutionary sound effect that will influence him deeply enven today. This is how, for several years, he works his way up to his first productions, in his student bedsite along with a very rudimentary musical equipment. In 1999 he encounters Gil in his record shop and lets him listen to some of his work. The chemistry is right, and they start working together at once. Their first title is G-Funk’s third production, and it’s a big success – thanks to the support of a number of international DJ’s.
This promising success is used by the two musicians to develop the label and to express their deep and mutual love for techno originating from Detroit. In this music their respective influences perfectly combine cold electronic groove and warm soul. The following title ensue : “Sampler EP”, “In Charly We Trust EP”, “A Different Theory EP”, under the label G-Funk, and “Three hours in Barcelona EP”, on the french label Tekmics.
Their live performances also contribute to their growing success, by allowing them to communicate their music to the audience. These concerts combine all the heat and energy of “rock” concerts, with atmospheres, rythms and perfectly re-mastered electronic colors.
During 2000, afetr meeting Laurent Garnier, they start working on another project, trying to find new artistic directions and expanding their horizons to other more “down-tempo” styles. They then contact and sign-up with the label F-Communications, the first french label of elctronic music.
This represents a turning point in their career, and one witch allows them to reach a wider audience with their music, a series of EPs ( “Spanish Harlem EP”, “Illogique EP”, “End EP”, “Abusive Melody EP” ), videos, and an album in 2001 “LemonOrange” in witch we discover other aspects of their talent.
They appear in all the main international events such as the Sonar Festival in Barcelona, 10 Days Of Techno in Belgium, T in the Park in Scotland, Time Warp in Germany...as well in renowned clubs : The End and Fabric in London, The Rex ant the 4Sans in France, The Zouk in Singapore, The Arches in Glasgow, Florida 135 in Spain, Cream in Liverpool...
At the moment, Gil & Olivier are working together on several different projects : a serie of EPs, “Confidential Music Vol.1 & 2”, a new album for 2003, a mixed CD as well as other more alternative projects...keep an eye out !
